This seems like kind of a weak level of agreement. He says “I think so” and then spends a minute and a half talking about an outcome that requires international cooperation but which isn’t a pause.
I’m not sure he has the power to make such commitments, since Deepmind is no longer an independent lab. I think it would depend on how others at Google (e.g. Sundar Pichai) or shareholders felt about it.
